Guest jamie m Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 just having an argument with my mate who runs an xs power turbo which has been quiet reliable since hes had the car running just under 1 bar of boost and producing around 500bhp (supra 3.0 n/a (turbo'd), the turbos 160 quid new and to me seems like it wont last 2 seconds, im going to be running a garrett gt35/82r and hes telling me his turbo is as good as mine opinions on this subject?

JustGav Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 You get what you pay for... General comments are that the stuff is crap. Oh wait, I just re-read that... 500bhp on an NA at under 1 bar with an XS tubby?? hahahaha, give it time it will go pop or the illusion will.

jevansio Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Put the argument on hold until one of the turbos lets go, then you have your winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel lane Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 i got 3 sat on the floor if you want them ...all been swapped for gt35r. The gt35r produces more power at 1.2bar then the ebay at 1.7 bar. The ebay does not have full spool until 4000rpm, the gt35r has full spool at 3200rpm. ummm so what you think ?? just race him later on a standing start or round a track .

Homer Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Ah, so it was Gazza's car. That one (dispite the cheap turbo) is quite well put together. It might not be far off 500bhp at all. I remember him putting down some reasonable times at Santa Pod last year. I'm sure it runs a lot more than 1 bar boost... Overall though, it's not a very good turbo and there are much better ones out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Supra_07 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 if his turbo hacks the power it will be a gd race, id personly think it would be down to who get the most traction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 600bhp skyline will destroy it in pretty much any conditions. Not sure why you think people here don't like Skylines (Has that impression been given)? You'll find that most here like them, a few even own one One thing we do hate here is text speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jamie m Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 ahhh yeh it had a full gearbox rebuild before he bought it and hes just about finished running it in, so far so good. what would be a sensible upgrade gearbox wise for him if/when it next goes?

At 500bhp it'll lunch itself again. Not sure if anyone else remebers if it was Gaz that went though all those W58's (might be another fella, so not sure) A V160 6speed is the only real replacement for it, but they are not cheap or readily available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamie m Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 how much would he be looking at paying for a 6 speed box if he could find one and are they pretty much a straight swap? i take it a w58 is a standard n/a gearbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
